mirja, et al, in reviewing manageability-15, i see this text:
The QUIC wire image is not specifically designed to be
distinguishable from other UDP traffic by a passive observer in the
network.
i think this has an excluded middle problem, and should be changed to:
<<The QUIC wire image is specifically designed to be indistinguishable
from other UDP traffic by a passive observer in the network.>>
this follows from RFC 7258, and is uncontroversial in the light thereof.
further to this point, i'd like to suggest adding a paragraph to the end
of section 3.1 (Identifying QUIC Traffic):
<<Management of QUIC traffic can never be reliable, and if it becomes so
over time, then the QUIC wire image would be forced to evolve. Therefore
a heuristic along the lines of "any unrecognizable UDP traffic could be
QUIC" is the least unappealing way for a network operator to
characterize their network's UDP traffic in the QUIC era.>>
thanks in advance for your consideration.
